Science of SoundSound is one of the primary means of communication.
The science of sound is about the production, transmission, manipulation and reception of sound; from unwanted traffic noise to beautiful music. Without control, sound may damage the environment, cause deafness and create annoyance and stress. On the other hand, correct acoustic design can greatly improve quality of life; at work, in public, at gigs, on station platforms, even at home. There are many careers in sound, from recording studios and live concerts to speaker and microphone development and design.
